What is a midstream test?

All pharmacies have pregnancy tests.

I hadn't heard that word before either, so went googling...
http://www.early-pregnancy-tests.com/pr ... tests.html

Apparently it's the pregnancy test minust the plastic part, more or less. Why... I assume it's because they are much cheaper than the ordinary kind.

Anyhow, I have never seen them here and if the pharmacies didn't have them then I'm pretty sure you cannot get them here. But there seems to be quite a lot of online shops selling them (check the shipping fees before ordering, though!).

Just get whatever's available. If you don't want to hold it midstream, pee in a cup/jar and stick the test in the cup/jar, just don't let the pee get all the way up onto the plastic part. Take it out after a couple seconds and let sit for 3 minutes. It will give you the same results. Good luck!

Citymarket sell them, they are in a box.

Also you can get them off ebay quite cheapily and its not so much to post over here. Ive had some of ebay, if you want to know who I used please pm me. But you can pick something easily going by the prices and their ratings.

Ahh, apparently I spoke way too quickly! You learn something new every day.

With the search words "liuska raskaustesti" there are several online stores selling them and apparently also Prisma is selling them in addition to CM that Sara mentioned.
